I think there is bit of “Everton is a much bigger club than Palace” and no one could argue that from a historical perspective they are miles bigger.
Currently there is almost parity in league terms although from memory I think we have only finished above Everton once in the past seven seasons (our current run in the EPL).
Zaha and his advisors will be looking for a team that will play in Europe and/or win things. That’s why he wants to leave Palace.Is that Everton at the moment? Maybe in a couple of years if the new manager is backed. Zaha will be almost 30 by then.
My view is that he will go to France or Germany to a club that has qualified for Europe or bolster the squad of a English top 6 team where he won’t play every game but be on more than Palace can pay him.
I’m sure he’s off but he is leaving himself very few options.
If he does become a Blue, I hope he is fantastic for you. Just can’t see it at the moment.

I hope you’re right and we don’t sign him.

My issue with Zaha is the same one I had with Bolasie, the same one I have now with Richarlison and Calvert Lewin. He is undeniably effective, he undeniably scored goals and gets assists, but how good a footballer is he actually? A lot of Palace’s goals seem to be they spring him on the counter, he gets it and tries to score or play the pull back. I’ve not seen him cross that effectively or link up play amazingly. You watch someone like Gordon, and you can tell immediately he’s a baller, similar to what Pienaar was, similar to a William type at Chelsea, you get the feeling you could ply them anywhere and your team is better for them being in the line up because they’re just good at football and can link play, pass, dribble, assist, cross, the full works. Our football is already terrible enough because we have too many players who can’t do all the above. Coleman gets it and it’s just head down and charges, same with the front two, same with Walcott when he plays. Just like Bolaise used to. My fear is Zaha is a similar type of player, very effective individually but doesn’t contribute to a good footballing team. You can carry some of those players in a team but we carry far too many already.

Great post.

He isn't "Stuck" at Palace, he is 27 and there will be a lot of big clubs across Europe looking at him and you slagging off both Palace and the player, you are coming across as bitter because he didn't two years ago join Everton.

Not at all.
I see Everton and Palace , from a playing perspective in the last 2 years , on a similar level.
I think Everton have more ambition but it hasn't got them anywhere.
You have lurked on this forum for some time now so should be aware that we have a very low opinion of our team.
What "big clubs across Europe " do you think will pay £50 m + and wages of £150 k per week?

I agree Jazzy, he isn't worth £50m and he won't go for £50m.
I asked the nice Palace fan what he thought they would get for him but he only said "As much as possible?"
I don't think they will get much more than £30m for him and for a good 27 year old player I think that will be a good price.
About he's wages, who knows what he will get but I don't think he will be getting any more than Siggy gets?

About fans "Low opinion of their own team."
Other than your neighbours, I think pretty much every other teams supporters have a low opinion of them and I know I do mine.
 
Reports in Turkey that we are interested in Galatasary CB Christian Luyindama Nekadio and £12m as the price, he only signed last year for Galatasary after being on loan there the season before. Galatasary only paid around £7m for him so he may have a £12m release fee

The Turkish league is a retirement league. No chance we are buying anyone from that league again.

I think he more clever than that and I'd say he's better with the ball at his feet and keeping possession than Richarlison ie he's harder to get off the ball.

For the most part he'll always needs special treatment by the opposition. Palace don't have anyone that exploit that apart from Ayew (and rarely does it even though he has like 10 goals this season), like we do.

The problem has always been gambling on whether his end product would increase in a better side with players on his wavelength.

He's massively above Bolasie and Walcott...but either of them are effective at what they did/do. Bolasie blindly lashed balls into the box for Lukaku. Walcott gets himself in good positions with his pace but has a shocking end product.

I can't see it happening. But if it did, it's a cut above the last bunch of attackers we've brought in.

rather take a punt on a sub 10m winger in a foreign league than Zaha, Got over him last year.

I think as soon as a Premier league club are interested in a winger from a foreign league their price goes into double figures. I like Saïd Benrahma from Brentford, 17 goals and 4 assists from left wing last season, 24 so could still improve. Brentford only paid £1.5m for him but I'm sure he would go for over £20m if a Premier league team was interested

Zaha too expensive...28 yrs old in November would not be good value...

Sarr at Watford would be a better option in my view...

Building for the future has got to be our main aim...

I think Sarr will be more expensive, and I think we’ve had enough ‘building for the future’ to last a life time, and that we need to sign players that can hit the ground running.
